Personal: November 2007 Archives

In no particular order...

  • Understanding co-workers who have made it possible for me to have a flexible transition back into full time work.
  • A very kind and loving mother-in-law who adores a certain small person and who will be watching her in December.  This is the kind of peace of mind for child care that money just can't buy.
  • Modern medicine.  If you know anyone and love anyone who has ever had major heart surgery, this one is self-explainatory. It is beyond scary to imagine what it would have been like to live it a world where we couldn't fix things in our bodies.  We still have much to learn, but what we know already is pretty amazing.
  • That my family can be together for Thanksgiving.  With my parents in Michigan, John and I in Illinois and my brother and his wife in Texas, it's harder than you think to get everyone together.  
  • A supportive husband who has made having a child a shared experience, and who works hard to make sure that I have some time to do some things on my own.
  • Most of all, I am thankful for this:

I hope you all had a happy, healthy holiday filled with people who make your lives better.
